Mondays are Not Only Known for Being Mind Numbingly Mundane, but Mondays also have the Innate Ability to be Maddeningly Manic. To Combat the Mania (that Some Mondays Bring) We decided Our Post This Particular Monday should Mimic that Frantic Lunacy Factor. For that Reason We will be Featuring THE HYPE IS REAL!
This Little Slice of Real Life Absolute Absurdity is By Animator, Director, and Writer Jake Lava. Now as Our Fans are more than likely Aware We at FYB Pride Ourselves in Providing the Most Information on the Subject at Hand. Unfortunately there is VIRTUALLY NO Personal Information about Jake Lava Online (Even Though He has a Twitter Account and YouTube Channel. We were Unable to Locate Him On Facebook though there Several People with Profiles with the Same Name) which in this Day and Age is Utterly Unheard Of (Unless Your a Legit Hermit). What We were able to Unearth were One Quote By Jake Lava Describing Himself/His Work which are as Follows:
Who is Jake Lava:
“I’m just a guy that sometimes animates, and sometimes draws comics too. I use Adobe Flash (it doesn’t really matter what version) for the animation side of things, and Photoshop for backgrounds, and Manga Studio for some other stuff. I sometimes mix this up and draw some stuff traditionally from time to time (like ‘The Sadman’)” -Jake Lava-
With all of the Chaotic Bullshit in the Mass Media and Social Media with Lies, Misinformation, and just Plain Fake News getting Accurate Information has become Increasingly Hard to Find.
So We decided Everyone needed a Break from the Psychotic News Cycle, and Here is Some News We All Can Enjoy. This is The News Hasn’t Happened Yet #3: UP by One of Our Absolute Favorite Animators of All Time Mr. David Firth.
For those of You Who do Not Know or May Not Be Aware David Firth is an English Animator, Director, Writer, Musician, Actor, Voice Actor, Video Artist, and Broadcaster of Whom We are a Big Fan of Here at FYB. Several of Firth’s works in Flash Animation, along with Multiple Music Videos and Works of Video Art, have Garnered a Large Followings.
Enjoy.

We are Thrilled to bring You “Friendly Shadow”the Second of Three NEW EPISODES in the Apocalyptic Dystopian Animated Short Film Series By Scottish Writer, Director, Sculpture, Painter, Artist, and Animator David James Armsby. The Short Film Series (which Ended in 2018 and was Revived in 2020) takes place in the Sci Fi Post Apocalyptic Town Known as Autodale where the Citizens are Anything but Normal.
The Creator in His Own Words:
“Hello, Citizens of Autodale!” “This Public Service Announcement is following ludicrous concerns and whispers we’ve been hearing as of late. Silly claims of monsters and other loathsome things living within our city walls!” “There are no monsters here, citizens. Not in Autodale!” This film follows a detective that Autodale’s public knows as the “Friendly Shadow”. Autodale makes an effort to keep the monstrous creatures that lurk outside their walls from entering the city but somehow, incursions and attacks are becoming more and more frequent as of late. It appears that one particular monster-breach got very violent very fast and the Friendly Shadow is sent to investigate.
This film was a colossal amount of work, as you can imagine. It’s the longest animated film I’ve ever made. I’ve been working on this project for just over 10 months now and the number of sheer man-hours I’ve put into this one film is something I don’t want to think about. I’m extremely proud of this film, though. It’s very near and dear to my heart. I think it’s a decent film, with a decent story and I’m very chuffed I managed to pull it off. It’s one of the most ambitious projects I’ve ever attempted and I think it turned out pretty awesome. I REALLY hope you guys like it too! ^_^”
We couldn’t be More Psyched that After Two Very Long Years one of Our Favorite Animator’s David James Armsby has Revived His Apocalyptic Dystopian Animated Short Film Series that takes place in the Sci Fi Post Apocalyptic Town of Autodale where the Citizens are Anything but Normal.
In The Creator’s Own Words:
“Hello, citizens of Autodale! It has been a long time…”
“This video is an announcement of what I’ve been working on for the past few months. I have three new Autodale-themed animated short films in the works. The first being an idea I’ve wanted to explore for a while; a look into the lives of the average Autodale citizen. The life-cycle of someone who’s essentially just another cog in the machine. This short is almost completely finished. The second, a detective-noir short film. Autodale’s infamous vigilante, “The Friendly Shadow” investigates a particularly gruesome incident after a monster manages to breach Autodale’s walls. The third will be a continuation of “Don’t Feed the Freaks”. This short film is the one I’m most excited about but it’s also the most subject to change. It’s the only one that I don’t have a finished script for yet and haven’t started animating. At the moment it follows the same character, traveling farther than he ever has before, likely focussing more on the Monarchs than the Freaks this time around.” -David James Armsby-
We are Thrilled to bring You the NEXT and FINAL Installment of the Apocalyptic Dystopian Animated Short Film Series “Don’t Feed The Freaks” By Scottish Writer, Director, Sculpture, Painter, Artist, and Animator David James Armsby. The Short Film Series takes place in the Sci Fi Post Apocalyptic Town Known as Autodale where the Citizens are Anything but Normal.
In The Creator’s Own Words:
“If you’re reading this. If you find this book; I’m sorry but I have no answers. But I can tell you what I’ve seen and what I know”.
A young man travels the lifeless wasteland of what was once civilization. He’s following the breadcrumbs of an apparent thriving society hidden somewhere in the vast, long-dead wilderness. This short was crazy-fun to work on. It was ambitious as hell and was the cause of many sleepless nights but I really got to run with my imagination in a way I feel I haven’t for a while. Just balls-to-the-wall creativity and it was really frustrating and really fun. It’s also a story about isolation and I love to make those, considering around 75% of my short films are about being alone. This short film is fourth in a series I’ve created. The other 3 take place within the walls of Autodale and are more dystopian than apocalyptic.”
